Why do pipes burst?
Pipes bursting is usually caused by the corrosion of metal pipes due to rust, but other factors like poor installation and hard water can also play a part. Additionally, not all pipe damage presents immediately and slow water leaks can go unnoticed. These gradual leaks might seem harmless at first look but eventually create havoc that could cost you thousands in home repairs due to serious structural issues such as wood rot brought on by termites.
The typical causes of burst pipes are:
- Age and condition of the pipes
- Weather conditions, changes in temperature and other fluctuating environmental factors
- Tree roots and other blockages
- Flooding
- Damage caused by other factors such as digging, moving, nails etc.
- High water pressure
